Each plan has its own strengths and limits. But if you want maximum flexibility when using Spotify's services, then the paid subscription plan (Premium and Family) gives you everything, as Spotify Free users must tolerate adverts in between tracks, listen to playlists or albums in Shuffle-only mode and are confined to standard sound quality and five tracks skips per hour.
